[Gentle Rodriguez]

Likely Wii U Smash will replace Melee.

I REALLY doubt it, even if the competitive scene latches on to it it'll take a while before it overtakes Melee.

 

[dmr87]

[Nanashrew]

Texas not going out without a fight. Let's go Metro City!

lol

Aren't you specifically not supposed to do this? I've heard twitch discourages/bans people for livestreaming casters sleeping.

nah, even if somehow it's absolute garbage it will still get at least one year

This is my guess as well, unless it turns out to be INCREDIBLE hot trash day one or something. I also would guess that the Evo organizers would love to get away from the CRT/GC/Wii nightmare they have to do right now.

That's where Nintendo comes in. They're gonna sponsor the crap out of Smash U, complete with prize money, Wii Us, & GameCube Adapters. Smash U is at least guaranteed EVO 2015.

[NEO0MJ]

Time for Chris to feed again.

 

[mreddie]

I REALLY doubt it, even if the competitive scene latches on to it it'll take a while before it overtakes Melee.

Doubt it, now with NIntendo's sponsorship, it'll likely be the Wii U edition.

 

[Htown]

YOU CAN DO IT, GOHAN!

 

[SargerusBR]

ChrisG to avenge Jan

 

[enzo_gt]

East Coast can't catch a break. Running through each other.

 

[Trey]

I REALLY doubt it, even if the competitive scene latches on to it it'll take a while before it overtakes Melee.

Why? Third Strike and MvC2, beloved Evo fighting games, were replaced immediately by their successors.

Nintendo obviously will push Smash 4 over Melee as well. The Smash competitive community would have to reject Smash 4 pretty much wholesale for Melee to return to Evo, and even then it's dubious.

 

[sqwarlock]

Skisonic still has his voice. I'm shocked.

 

[Azure J]

This is going to be fucking ugly isn't it?

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm no expert on Marvel, but is there any mechanical justification for why MvC3 doesn't have some sort of BlazBlue-esque combo break mechanic?

I REALLY doubt it, even if the competitive scene latches on to it it'll take a while before it overtakes Melee.

Smash 4 is guaranteed to take priority over Melee next year due to Nintendo's current sponsorship. It might not end up being as popular in the long run, but the writing's on the wall for next year.
